International Women’s Links 03/08/18
No, I’m not going to do something as horribly patronizing as doing a women themed daily links for the Uncrypt blog. Also I like to get at least four articles in these, and good luck finding more than two crypto articles focused on female led projects on any given day (just kidding…sort of). Regardless, here’s your International Women’s day reminder that we need more women in crypto.
This is the most important developing story in Crypto right now because it always is any time a United States federal agency gives us any more clues on what regulation might look like in a country where there has been shockingly little guidance. American cryptocurrency enthusiasts, investors, entrepreneurs, etc. are a bit like a completely crowd of friends in an escape room game, just guessing at the clues, hoping for the game-master to drop a little hint towards the right direction. In this case, the situation becomes a little clearer in that it seems we are moving towards a future where all U.S. based cryptocurrencies will be treated as securities and governed as such.
Specifically waited until Bloomberg Crypto got a hold of this story because I needed a third party to validate that this is a real thing. Mt. Gox directly caused a massive BTC price crash in 2013, and the remaining fallout from that crash is continuing to impact the market in 2018 because of a trustee dumping BTC into the market. I have so many questions about this. Why on exchanges and not an OTC? What at extremely specific times that were also moments of bullish indicators in T.A.? Are we really so illiquid that these kind of market moves can make such a difference? This one seems really surreal to me.
I wrote about Vermont’s pilot program for Real Estate registry on blockchain with S.F. based Propy, Inc. a few weeks ago when it was announced at WCEF in early January. Apparently the project went well, since ZeroHedge that the first totally blockchain backed real estate transaction to happen in the United States has taken place.
